Economic consequences of the Online Safety Bill should be considered by the government though there is a need for regulating social media, SJB MP Harsha de Silva said yesterday.

“One should take a note on the consequence the Bill will have on e-commerce. Our youth should be made to participate in the economy through e-commerce. Legislations such as these will prevent these opportunities,” he said.

“You cannot consider service providers such as Facebook and You Tube as perpetrators just because another person uploads an unwanted post on social media,” he added.

    Another wishy washy cunt ! The working conditions of voiceless young workers in sweat shops like Arpico and Keels, have never rated a mention by this “visionary”. These children are effectively shackled to their jobs and paid peanuts.

    I don't care if the economy goes to hell in a hand basket as long as I and my. supporters protected that is all that matters.

    Harsha , why don't you clearly explain what is bad for the economy?

    You should study in UK or USA to become best Economist. Atleast you should read Engish books. In Srilanka universities, They memorise answer to the questions and get degrees

    Yes very true. They memorize or cheat and they are the top educated people in our country. All the ignorant people worship them.

    Do you really think they are bothered about it... This is a bunch of people who don't want to let go of power, what economy are they bothered about.... Unless it's theirs...

    We don't care about the youth, we are the most important generation.
